Firewall – Harrison Ford
Just saw the movie Firewall on DVD. The old man has still got it. Harrison Ford as usual, delivers. The man is amazing. The consistency to his character, Jack, is impeccable.
Firewall is about a director of security who gets manipulated into taking money out of the bank where works. The criminals take Jack's family hostage and threaten to kill him if he doesn't cooperate.
One thing I thought they did really well was to leave out the usual Hollywood visual effects of hacking. You'll see them in movies like “Hackers” where hacking on a unix system looks like Tron. In reality hacking looks very boring especially if you don't know what you are looking at.
It is a decent movie. Perhaps I'll add it to my hacker/security/tech collection (once I start building it).
